With activities ranging from stimulating adventures, to spiritual and educational programs, the award-winning active destination is a perfect place to spice up the lazy days of summer.

"We continuously strive to create conceptual and unique programs to elevate our guests both physically and spiritually,” says General Manager Tracey Welsh. "We urge guests to take chances and try new activities they would normally shy away from. By doing this, we guarantee they’ll discover a newfound passion and want to come back for more."

Guests can select from the resort’s hot, new activities this summer including:
  • Rappelling ($119 per person): Nothing beats the adrenaline rush taking those first few steps backward off a cliff! In this thrilling three hour adventure, guests can "take the plunge," as they descend the edge of the 150-foot Cougar Cliff. An expert Zion Rock & Mountain Guide leads the way on this exciting excursion.

  • Touch of the Spirit Clay: Anasazi Pottery Group Workshop ($100 per person): In this exclusive workshop, participants craft their own pottery utilizing ancient Anasazi techniques and tools. In addition to shaping pottery by hand, participants use native southwestern plant brushes and paints made from natural ground minerals and vegetation from the surrounding area to decorate their pottery. The workshop is available on Saturdays from 3 p.m. - 5 p.m. during the summer season.

  • Walk the Medicine Wheel Add-On ($650 per person): During this four night program, participants learn the sacred practices of shamanic healing and medicine wheel teachings. The program, led by shaman spirit guide Betina Lindsey, invokes the traditions of ancient healers and gives participants the chance to connect with their natural surroundings and spiritual practice.

  • Zion Narrows Hike ($199 per person): A perfect summer adventure for those hoping to cool down and experience the breathtaking views of red rock country as they venture through Zion National Park. This eight hour adventure runs along the park's Virgin River amid stunning 1,000 foot canyon walls.

A boxed lunch, use of hiking poles and water shoes are included.
